Yesterday hope sprang eternal for an agreement.
Speaking to reporters after attending Monday’s NBA Finals in New York, Trump said that the two parties are in the final stages of a “very, very good deal that will not in any way allow nuclear weapons.”
Sky News Arabia reported Monday that a draft agreement had been sent to the U.S. for review and that it is “preliminarily acceptable” to the White House.

Inconsistent, contradictory statements coming so close to each other on something as consequential as the conflict with Iran creates a disturbing amount of uncertainty and global instability. Especially with reserve stockpiles of oil around the world being at historic lows. Not to mention the fact that it creates tremendous market volatility both with stocks and the price of oil.
OTOH, if you knew ahead of time what statements were going to be made regarding the war you could make a lot of money. Or if you knew about what government contracts were going to be given to what companies you could profit from it bigly. Not that trump would ever do anything like that.
AI Overview
Donald Trump has claimed that a deal with Iran is imminent or close to being finalized at least 38 times since the outbreak of the US-Iran conflict in 2026.
Is this a sign of confusion, being overly optimistic, inaccurate briefings, not paying attention to briefings, dementia, making things up, ignorance, an inability to shut up? Is this any way to run a country?
